=Overview=<br />
The [[Design| Fedora Design Team]] is the design group of the Fedora project. Our interests are not only in creating graphics for use by the Fedora community, but also in advocating the use of the creative tools that are a part of Fedora.<br />
<br />
=How to Join=<br />
<br />
While filing bug reports and providing feedback is extremely valuable, we also need help with our active projects. If you would like to contribute, please complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
=== Getting Started ===<br />
<br />
Let us get to know you.<br />
<br />
{{admon/important|Personal Information|Fedora is a very visible and transparent project, which means that its mailing lists are archived and mirrored in many places on the internet outside of our control. Please use caution when sharing personal information with Fedora on a mailing list, because it is not possible for us to remove any postings from the wider Internet universe after they are sent. For more details, please refer to [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/PrivacyPolicy Fedora's Privacy Policy].}}<br />
<br />
# Join the [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team mailing list].<br />
# Introduce yourself to the mailing list; talk about your art/design experience and interests so we'll know what kinds of design tasks you might be interested in helping out with.<br />
# Sign up for a [[Infrastructure/AccountSystem| Fedora Account]], you'll need it later!<br />
# Complete the [[Legal:Fedora_Project_Contributor_Agreement| Fedora Project Contributor Agreement]] (FPCA) through the [[Infrastructure/AccountSystem| Account System]] . This will ensure that the contributions you make are properly licensed!<br />
# Claim and complete a design ticket at [https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/report/1 the design service queue] or email the [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team mailing list] to be assigned a task.<br />
#* '''Note:''' We definitely recommend for folks starting out with our team to look for tasks that are not icon-related. Icon designs pose additional burdens and challenges that we don't want you to have to deal with just starting out!<br />

DISCUSSION DRAFT<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in formats which are designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board. <br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with modified Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />
** any required or customary modifications to Fedora software that allow the virtual image or appliance distribution to operate in its intended environment are permitted as long as additional code used for any modifications is made available under one of the licenses listed at [[Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses Good Licenses|Good Licenses]];<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the virtual image or appliance that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
<br />
If you wish to use the Primary Marks with a virtual image or appliance with any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin with the exception above, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with Fedora software modified beyond the exception in the previous section. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to combine non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software on the same media or image. Examples include:<br />
<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
The combination of non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software promotional goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software promotional goods | Non-software promotional goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />

<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software promotional goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software promotional goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
===== Ambassador giveaways =====<br />
<br />
For Ambassadors who wish to generate non-software promotional goosd to be given away at no cost, the Ambassador should open a ticket in trac, including the following details:<br />
* Contact info for responsible ambassador<br />
* Main event(s) where materials will be given away<br />
* Design of event<br />
* Information on vendor producing materials<br />
* Description of materials being used (e.g. type of tshirt, type of coffee cup, etc)<br />
* Amount of materials produced <br />
<br />
If the design is simply an unmodified Fedora logo, with nothing else, the merchandise is appropriate, and the material type/quality is acceptable, the request will be granted, and the Fedora Ambassador will be given a one-time permission to produce the specified non-software promotional goods in the amount requested. Any other request must have Board approval, and may require that the Ambassador produce a two item proof batch of the proposed non-software promotional goods.<br />
<br />
===== Goods other than Ambassador giveaways =====<br />
<br />
For uses other than the Ambassador Giveaways described above, community members may request from the Board permission to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software goods or services, which will be considered on a case-by-case basis.<br />
<br />
=== Uses not described above ===<br />
<br />
Have a use that is not described above but that you would like approved? Contact Fedora legal at legal@fedoraproject.org<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

DISCUSSION DRAFT<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in formats which are designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board. <br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />

The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />
** any required or customary modifications to Fedora software that allow the virtual image or appliance distribution to operate in its intended environment are permitted as long as additional code used for any modifications is made available under one of the licenses listed at [[Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses Good Licenses|Good Licenses]];<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the virtual image or appliance that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
<br />
If you wish to use the Primary Marks with a virtual image or appliance with any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin with the exception above, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with Fedora software modified beyond the exception in the previous section. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to combine non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software on the same media or image. Examples include:<br />
<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
The combination of non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software promotional goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software promotional goods | Non-software promotional goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software promotional goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software promotional goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
===== Ambassador Giveaways =====<br />
<br />
For Ambassadors who wish to generate non-software promotional goosd to be given away at no cost, the Ambassador should open a ticket in trac, including the following details:<br />
* Contact info for responsible ambassador<br />
* Main event(s) where materials will be given away<br />
* Design of event<br />
* Information on vendor producing materials<br />
* Description of materials being used (e.g. type of tshirt, type of coffee cup, etc)<br />
* Amount of materials produced <br />
<br />
If the design is simply an unmodified Fedora logo, with nothing else, the merchandise is appropriate, and the material type/quality is acceptable, the request will be granted, and the Fedora Ambassador will be given a one-time permission to produce the specified non-software promotional goods in the amount requested. Any other request must have Board approval, and may require that the Ambassador produce a two item proof batch of the proposed non-software promotional goods.<br />
<br />
For uses other than the Ambassador Giveaways described above, community members may request from the Board permission to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software goods or services, which will be considered on a case-by-case basis.<br />
<br />
=== Uses not described above ===<br />
<br />

<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />
<br />
=== Trademark Usage Guidelines ===<br />
<br />

{{UsageGuideline | Never use the Fedora Trademarks in a disparaging manner or in a manner that infringes Red Hat trademark rights or violates any federal, state, or international law. | ''N/A'' | Little cartoon boy micturating on Fedora logo, applying Fedora logo outside permitted uses}}<br />
{{UsageGuideline | Never use terminology that states or implies that the Fedora Project assumes any responsibility for the performance of your products and services. | AcmeCo uses Fedora software on all its servers. | Fedora runs AcmeCo's servers.}}<br />
{{UsageGuideline | Never abbreviate or use any Fedora Trademarks as an acronym. | The Fedora Users and Developers Conference is known as FUDCon. | FedUDCon, FEDORA (Fabulous Exchangeable Distribution Of Real Artistry)}}<br />
{{UsageGuideline | The Fedora Infinity design logo must be hyperlinked to (http://fedoraproject.org/), in contexts where such a hyperlink is technically feasible. | Hyperlinking the logo where feasible | Not hyperlinking the logo where feasible}}<br />

<br />
DISCUSSION DRAFT<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in formats which are designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board. <br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with modified Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />
** any required or customary modifications to Fedora software that allow the virtual image or appliance distribution to operate in its intended environment are permitted as long as additional code used for any modifications is made available under one of the licenses listed at [[Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses Good Licenses|Good Licenses]];<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the virtual image or appliance that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
<br />
If you wish to use the Primary Marks with a virtual image or appliance with any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin with the exception above, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with Fedora software modified beyond the exception in the previous section. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to combine non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software on the same media or image. Examples include:<br />
<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
The combination of non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />

* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />

<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />

* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software promotional goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software promotional goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software goods or services. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Uses not described above ===<br />
<br />
Have a use that is not described above but that you would like approved? Contact Fedora legal at legal@fedoraproject.org<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />

<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

DISCUSSION DRAFT<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in formats which are designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board. <br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />

<br />
If your use falls into this category, but you would like to use the Primary Marks, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />

<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to combine non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software on the same media or image. Examples include:<br />
<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
The combination of non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software promotional goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software promotional goods | Non-software promotional goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software promotional goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software promotional goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software goods or services. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Uses not described above ===<br />
<br />
Have a use that is not described above but that you would like approved? Contact Fedora legal at legal@fedoraproject.org<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />

<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

DISCUSSION DRAFT<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in formats which are designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />

** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />

<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />

* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software promotional goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software promotional goods | Non-software promotional goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />

* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software promotional goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software promotional goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software goods or services. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />

<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

DISCUSSION DRAFT<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board.

<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />

** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />

* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software promotional goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software promotional goods | Non-software promotional goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software promotional goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software promotional goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software goods or services. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Uses not described above ===<br />
<br />

<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />

<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

DISCUSSION DRAFT<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />

* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />

<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />

* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
The combination of non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />

<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software promotional goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />

<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />
<br />

DISCUSSION DRAFT<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />

It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />

<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to combine non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software on the same media or image. Examples include:<br />
<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
The combination of non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />

<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />

<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />

It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software promotional goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software promotional goods | Non-software promotional goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />

==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Promotional Goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />

<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />

== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

DISCUSSION DRAFT<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with modified Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />
** any required or customary modifications to Fedora software that allow the virtual image or appliance distribution to operate in its intended environment are permitted;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the virtual image or appliance that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
<br />
If you wish to use the Primary Marks with a virtual image or appliance with any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin with the exception above, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with Fedora software modified beyond the exception in the previous section. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to combine non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software on the same media or image. Examples include:<br />
<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
The combination of non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Promotional Goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />

== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

DISCUSSION DRAFT<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with modified Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />
** any required or customary modifications to Fedora software that allow the virtual image or appliance distribution to operate in its intended environment are permitted;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the virtual image or appliance that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
<br />
If you wish to use the Primary Marks with a virtual image or appliance with any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin with the exception above, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />

<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with Fedora software modified beyond the exception in the previous section. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to combine non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software on the same media or image. Examples include:<br />
<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
The combination of non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />

<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />
** any required or customary modifications to Fedora software that allow the virtual image or appliance distribution to operate in its intended environment are permitted;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the virtual image or appliance that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
<br />
If you wish to use the Primary Marks with a virtual image or appliance with any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin with the exception above, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />

The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to combine non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software on the same media or image. Examples include:<br />
<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
The combination of non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Uses not described above ===<br />
<br />
Have a use that is not described above but that you would like approved? Contact Fedora legal at legal@fedoraproject.org<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<br />
;Instructions:<br />
:''Please add your name to the list if you will attend.'' Also, please indicate the following:<br />
:* Put an '''X''' in the ''$$$'' column if you need funding to attend, and '''visit [https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest the FUDCon ticket tracker] to make a funding request'''. We have a limited budget and will work hard to fund as many people as possible. We'll use these answers to help figure out budgeting for the event. We are making arrangements for attendees from other geographic regions to encourage specific initiatives such as future FUDCon events, but '''preference may otherwise be given to people in North America.'''<br />
:* Put a '''V''' in the ''Veg'' column if you would like vegetarian fare for any meals that we provide during the event. If you prefer vegan fare, please mark that column '''VV'''. We will do our best to make sure everyone is accommodated! Note: &quot;Hell No&quot; and similar statements are offensive to some and should not be included in this column.<br />
:* Put your T-shirt size in the ''Size'' column, so we can have an idea about what sizes to have available. Only Unisex (Mens Sizes will be ordered)<br />
:* '''Roomsharing:''' &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you want or need to share a room, mark '''yes''' in the &quot;Roomshare?&quot; column.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Once you have a roommate, both of you should '''mark your roommate's name''' in the block as well.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you need a roommate, look for someone with just a '''yes''' in the column, and contact them via email. If you encounter any problems, let the organizers know.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;<br />
:Use the Comments section for anything else you think organizers need to know, or to offer or ask for space or rides.<br />
<br />
{{Admon/note<br />
| Fedora means freedom &amp;mdash; registration is free and open to everyone. | You can pre-register anonymously, but now is a great time to create a Fedora account if you don't have one! For those new to Fedora, you can [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts register in the Fedora Account System] and follow the instructions there to complete the FPCA. This process usually takes less than 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
'''The information you enter below is viewable by anyone, and is considered Publicly Available Personal Information.'''}}<br />
&lt;!--<br />
{{Admon/note | Budget is tight! | ''We typically cannot fund everyone who wants to attend.'' You can save quite a bit of money by carpooling or busing, and sharing hotel rooms. We will make every effort to have FUDCon be as affordable as possible. '''Travel subsidies have been exhausted at this time. ''(2009-10-29)'''''}}<br />
--&gt;<br />
&lt;!--<br />
The '''Hotel Booked''' column values are: Y for Yes (booked); NA for Not applicable (local, or staying with friends); or blank for pending. --&gt;<br />
&lt;!-- {{Admon/note | Extra line for Badge | If you want to include your IRC nick (strongly recommended), area of participation in Fedora, or other information, you can add it to the &quot;Extra line for Badge&quot; column. Do not exceed 20-30 characters or the extra line will be in ''very'' small print!}} --&gt;<br />

|-<br />
| Fedora Inspire: A virtual conference || While we are all lucky to make it to FUDcon, there are many FUDcon contributors around the world who have not had the opportunity to come even though they would love to be here. Would it be cool to have a week-long [http://ted.com TED-like conference], run on Fedora Planet, where every day of the event a new 15-minute video is posted from someone doing inspirational work in or with Fedora? How is Fedora being used in schools, to build robots, to create awesome music? Let's find out!

<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with modified Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />
** any required or customary modifications to Fedora software that allow the virtual image or appliance distribution to operate in its intended environment are permitted;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the virtual image or appliance that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
<br />
If you wish to use the Primary Marks with a virtual image or appliance with any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin with the exception above, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with Fedora software modified beyond the exception in the previous section. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to combine non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software on the same media or image. Examples include:<br />
<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
The combination of non-Fedora operating systems with Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board.

** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />

<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />

<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media that includes Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon&quot;, in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />

<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media including Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon&quot;, in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />
<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />

<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />

These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />

It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />
** any required or customary modifications to Fedora software that allow the virtual image or appliance distribution to operate in its intended environment are permitted;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the virtual image or appliance that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
<br />
If you wish to use the Primary Marks with a virtual image or appliance with any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, other than under the exception above, you must have the combination approved by the Board.

The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image require Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use. Examples include:<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media including Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon&quot;, in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content]].<br />
<br />

It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />
** any required or customary modifications to Fedora software that allow the virtual image or appliance distribution to operate in its intended environment are permitted;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the virtual image or appliance that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
<br />
If you wish to use the Primary Marks with a virtual image or appliance with any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, other than under the exception above, you must have the combination approved by the Board.

The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image require Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use. Examples include:<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media including Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon&quot;, in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content separately|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content separately]].<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software, or with modified Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on or alongside the physical media, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />
** any required or customary modifications to Fedora software that allow the virtual image or appliance distribution to operate in its intended environment are permitted;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the virtual image or appliance that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
<br />
If you wish to use the Primary Marks with a virtual image or appliance with any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, other than under the exception above, you must have the combination approved by the Board.

The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image require Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use. Examples include:<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media including Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon&quot;, in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form.

<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content separately ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remix: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />

<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content separately|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content separately]].<br />

** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />

<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />

<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image require Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use. Examples include:<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />

<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed.

* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media including Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon&quot;, in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4, &quot;Use of the Fedora Trademarks,&quot; or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content separately ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remixes: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />

If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image require Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use. Examples include:<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />

* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />

<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media including Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon&quot;, in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Board to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board, in consultation with Red Hat, may grant permission for uses not described below.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora software, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam) (Assuming all the info on the old page is correct on Logo/UsageGuidelines, we should blank the old page and redirect it --[[User:Ianweller|Ian Weller]] 14:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC))'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the new work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the new work has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may '''not''' contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The new work must be referred to only as a &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the new work contains modified Fedora software or non-Fedora software are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with [[FUDCon|the Fedora Users and Developers Conference]] and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact logo@fedoraproject.org for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Four Foundations Marks are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
* a Board-approved Fedora Spin in a format described above<br />
<br />
== Trademark requirements for all use cases ==<br />
<br />
In all cases, whether your use is permitted under the conditions described in Section 4 or you are seeking special permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content separately ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on new combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional documents or media files (&quot;Non-Software Content&quot;), provided that:<br />
<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labelling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the additional Non-Software Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the additional Non-Software Content.<br />
<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]] instead.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Remixes: Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of approved combinations of Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />

<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded or pre-installed with Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora software is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora software is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to pre-load any combination of Fedora software other than an already-approved Fedora Spin, you must have the combination approved by the Board. For general guidelines, see [[#Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content separately|Fedora Spins: New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without additional Non-Software Content separately]].<br />

** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Virtual images or appliances with unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label or advertise virtual images or appliance distributions pre-loaded with approved combinations of Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the virtual image or appliance distribution is composed entirely of Fedora Media with the following exception:<br />

<br />
It is permissible to use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] without prior permission in connection with the provision and sale of virtual images and appliance distributions pre-loaded with a combination of Fedora software and non-Fedora or modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing the Fedora trademarks;<br />
<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed adjacent to the image file or with the appliance, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project, and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/<br />
<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />

<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image ====<br />
<br />
Non-Fedora operating systems combined with Fedora on the same media or image require Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the combination and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use. Examples include:<br />
* dual-sided media with Fedora on one side and any other non-Fedora operating system on the other<br />
* multiple-boot media or images which include Fedora along with non-Fedora operating systems<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any other business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon.<br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />

<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Cover-mount media ====<br />
<br />
Cover-mount media including Fedora software requires Board approval. The Board will ask for a description of the contents of the media and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material, before approving the use.<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the words &quot;Fedora&quot; or &quot;FUDCon&quot;, in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Fedora Project Board (&quot;Board&quot;) to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board may grant permission for uses as explained below and serves as the first line of mediation when questions of use arise.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora content, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam)'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the content has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may not contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The modified Fedora content should be referred to only as &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the work contains modified Fedora content or non-Fedora content are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with the Fedora Users and Developers Conference and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact ___________ for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
<br />
== General guidelines for all uses ==<br />
<br />
Permission is granted for use of Fedora Trademarks for the use cases described below. In all cases, whether your use is permitted solely under these conditions described below or you must seek additional permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without other content separately on same physical medium ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on and in conjunction with media that contains software included in the official Fedora repositories, along with Other Content, provided that:<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the Other Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the Other Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the Other Content.<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]].<br />
<br />
==== Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software.

<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />
<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Fedora Project Board and Fedora Project entities, like FAMSCO, that it may designate (hereinafter &quot;Board&quot;) to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board may grant permission for uses as explained below and serves as the first line of mediation when questions of use arise.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora content, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam)'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the content has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may not contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The modified Fedora content should be referred to only as &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the work contains modified Fedora content or non-Fedora content are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with the Fedora Users and Developers Conference and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact ___________ for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
<br />
== General guidelines for all uses ==<br />
<br />
Permission is granted for use of Fedora Trademarks for the use cases described below. In all cases, whether your use is permitted solely under these conditions described below or you must seek additional permission from the Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without other content separately on same physical medium ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on and in conjunction with media that contains software included in the official Fedora repositories, along with Other Content, provided that:<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the Other Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the Other Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the Other Content.<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]].<br />
<br />
==== Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with Other Content, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the computer system is pre-loaded as Fedora Media;<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora content is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora content is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />
<br />

== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />
<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Fedora Project Board (hereinafter &quot;Board&quot;) to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board may grant permission for uses as explained below and serves as the first line of mediation when questions of use arise.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora content, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam)'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the content has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may not contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The modified Fedora content should be referred to only as &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the work contains modified Fedora content or non-Fedora content are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with the Fedora Users and Developers Conference and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact ___________ for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project and to promote the [[Foundations | Fedora Project core values]]. Any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must satisfy this purpose and must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
<br />
== General guidelines for all uses ==<br />
<br />
Permission is granted for use of Fedora Trademarks for the use cases described below. In all cases, whether your use is permitted solely under these conditions described below or you must seek additional permission from the Fedora Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Fedora Board.<br />
<br />

In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without other content separately on same physical medium ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on and in conjunction with media that contains software included in the official Fedora repositories, along with Other Content, provided that:<br />

<br />
==== Application themes, skins, and personas ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by placing the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks in a theme, persona, or skin intended to alter the appearance of an application. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />
* the use is non-commercial in nature; and,<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />
<br />
==== Noncommercial and community web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* placing the Primary Marks or the Four Foundations Marks on a personal web site or blog to support Fedora<br />
* making a page on a social networking web service to support Fedora<br />
* linking to Fedora from a wiki to provide information or show support for Fedora<br />
<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlink to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks; and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.);<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project.<br />
<br />
==== Business web sites ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to show support for Fedora by:<br />
* offering Fedora Media for sale at a retail business or web site<br />
* displaying a link to the Fedora Project using the Primary Marks from a business web site<br />
* displaying the Primary Marks as part of a business that provides services for clients using Fedora<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business web sites, provided that:<br />
* the web site has non-Fedora primary branding;<br />
* the design logo hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/; <br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the user by Red Hat or the Fedora Project or of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks does not imply an association with or endorsement of any non-Fedora goods or services;<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project;<br />
Provided these guidelines are observed, it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to sell Fedora Media, and to advertise services for Fedora-based systems (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)<br />
<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any work-related business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon. <br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software;<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title;<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />
* the use does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Red Hat or the Fedora Project;<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Fedora Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />
<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Fedora Project Board (hereinafter &quot;Board&quot;) to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board may grant permission for uses as explained below and serves as the first line of mediation when questions of use arise.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora content, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam)'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the content has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may not contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The modified Fedora content should be referred to only as &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the work contains modified Fedora content or non-Fedora content are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with the Fedora Users and Developers Conference and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact ___________ for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project. Therefore, any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
<br />
== General guidelines for all uses ==<br />
<br />
Permission is granted for use of Fedora Trademarks for the use cases described below. In all cases, whether your use is permitted solely under these conditions described below or you must seek additional permission from the Fedora Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Fedora Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without other content separately on same physical medium ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on and in conjunction with media that contains software included in the official Fedora repositories, along with Other Content, provided that:<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Fedora Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the Other Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the Other Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the Other Content.<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]].<br />
<br />
==== Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with Other Content, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />

<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without prior permission on business cards to identify one's affiliation with the Fedora Project provided that the Fedora Ambassador Business card template located [[Business cards | at this URL]] is used. This is the only business card use permitted; community members may not use any Fedora Trademarks or refer to the Fedora Project on any work-related business cards. Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon. <br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks without additional permission to promote free and open source software events where individuals that participate in the Fedora Project appear as Fedora Ambassadors, distribute Fedora Media, or otherwise represent the Fedora Project, provided the general guidelines above are followed. If you would like to make some non-software goods to give away at the event and don't already have a license to do so, see [[#Non-software goods | Non-software goods]].<br />
<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />

* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Fedora Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Uses that violate the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines;<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission.<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Fedora Project Board (hereinafter &quot;Board&quot;) to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board may grant permission for uses as explained below and serves as the first line of mediation when questions of use arise.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora content, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam)'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the content has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may not contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The modified Fedora content should be referred to only as &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the work contains modified Fedora content or non-Fedora content are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with the Fedora Users and Developers Conference and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact ___________ for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project. Therefore, any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
<br />
== General guidelines for all uses ==<br />
<br />
Permission is granted for use of Fedora Trademarks for the use cases described below. In all cases, whether your use is permitted solely under these conditions described below or you must seek additional permission from the Fedora Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Fedora Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without other content separately on same physical medium ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on and in conjunction with media that contains software included in the official Fedora repositories, along with Other Content, provided that:<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Fedora Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the Other Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the Other Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the Other Content.<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]].<br />
<br />
==== Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with Other Content, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />

In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Fedora Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Violations of the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Fedora Project Board (hereinafter &quot;Board&quot;) to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board may grant permission for uses as explained below and serves as the first line of mediation when questions of use arise.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora content, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam)'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the content has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may not contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The modified Fedora content should be referred to only as &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the work contains modified Fedora content or non-Fedora content are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with the Fedora Users and Developers Conference and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact ___________ for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project. Therefore, any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
<br />
== General guidelines for all uses ==<br />
<br />
Permission is granted for use of Fedora Trademarks for the use cases described below. In all cases, whether your use is permitted solely under these conditions described below or you must seek additional permission from the Fedora Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Fedora Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without other content separately on same physical medium ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on and in conjunction with media that contains software included in the official Fedora repositories, along with Other Content, provided that:<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Fedora Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the Other Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the Other Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the Other Content.<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]].<br />
<br />
==== Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with Other Content, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />

* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Fedora Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Violations of the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />

<div>{{draft}}<br />
<br />
This page contains the official guidelines (the &quot;Trademark Guidelines&quot;) for use of the Fedora Trademarks. <br />
<br />
This page describes how third parties may use the Fedora Trademarks; it does not describe what the Fedora Project itself may designate as authentic Fedora-branded goods or services. Red Hat enlists the assistance of the Fedora Project Board (hereinafter &quot;Board&quot;) to both to establish the quality of goods and services that carry the Fedora Trademarks and to oversee the Trademark Guidelines to ensure compliance by the community. The Board may grant permission for uses as explained below and serves as the first line of mediation when questions of use arise.<br />
<br />
Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Fedora Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product or services, or use the Fedora Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on auction sites, or on software or hardware. Red Hat protects the Fedora Trademarks on behalf of the entire Fedora community. Indeed, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. <br />
<br />
These guidelines are not intended to limit your &quot;fair use&quot; of the Fedora Trademarks, i.e., the referential use of the trademarks in references to the goods or services with which these marks are used by Fedora.<br />
<br />
== The Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
The &quot;Fedora Trademarks&quot; are the word &quot;Fedora&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the Infinity design logo, the word &quot;FUDCon&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the words &quot;Four Foundations&quot; in plain text or stylized form, the &quot;Four Foundations&quot; design logo and its variations, and the words &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; in plain text or stylized form. They are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. <br />
<br />
=== Primary Marks ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, and the Infinity design logo are the &quot;Primary Marks.&quot; <br />
<br />
=== Secondary Mark ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Fedora Remix,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;Secondary Mark.&quot; The Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate their work includes or is derived from Fedora content, and thereby drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Secondary Mark are located [[Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines | at this page]]. '''(Correct reference to [[Logo/UsageGuidelines | the Logo/Usage Guidelines]]? Pam)'''<br />
<br />
Use of the word &quot;Fedora&quot; alone in connection with the Secondary Mark may only be used to clearly indicate that the work uses some software obtained from the Fedora Project but may not suggest that the content has been approved by or authorized by the Fedora Project. The notice may not contain phrases such as:<br />
* &quot;built from Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;powered by Fedora&quot;<br />
* &quot;contains Fedora&quot;<br />
The modified Fedora content should be referred to only as &quot;Fedora Remix.&quot; Other uses that do not properly indicate the work contains modified Fedora content or non-Fedora content are also not permitted.<br />
<br />
Using the Secondary Mark also requires a statement in print or in another prominent location stating that end users are receiving modified Fedora software, and informing them where they ''can'' get unmodified Fedora software.<br />
<br />
=== FUDcon Mark ===<br />
<br />
The word &quot;FUDCon,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, is the &quot;FUDCon Mark.&quot; The FUDCon Mark is only used in association with the Fedora Users and Developers Conference and may be used only by FUDCon organizers who have been accepted to run a FUDCon through the [[FUDCon bid process]]. These Trademark Guidelines do not describe permitted uses of the FUDCon Mark. FUDCon organizers should contact ___________ for questions about appropriate use of the FUDCon Mark.<br />
<br />
=== Four Foundations Marks ===<br />
<br />
The words &quot;Four Foundations,&quot; in plain text or stylized form, as well as each individual &quot;leaf&quot; component of the Four Foundations design mark in their various versions, are the &quot;Four Foundations Marks.&quot; The Four Foundations Marks are used to show support for and agreement with the Fedora Project and its values and ideals.<br />
<br />
Guidelines for use of the Secondary Mark are described below in the sections where its use is permitted or appropriate. Guidelines for presentation of the Four Foundations Mark are located [[Logo/UsageGuidelines#Foundations | at this page]].<br />
<br />
The Four Foundations Marks may only be used in materials whose primary purpose is the promotion of the Fedora Project. Therefore, any materials in which the Four Foundations Marks are used must also include the Primary Marks and meet all the requirements described for the use of the Primary Marks.<br />
<br />
== Fedora Media ==<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project distributes software in various formats, including a format which is designed to be reproduced on physical media by the recipient. Hereinafter, Fedora software provided by the Fedora Project in such formats and unmodified reproductions thereof in any form are collectively referred to as &quot;Fedora Media.&quot; Examples of Fedora Media include but are not limited to:<br />
* installation CDs and DVDs,<br />
* live bootable CDs, DVDs, and USB devices, and<br />
* any copies of those media in a format suitable for data interchange.<br />
<br />
== General guidelines for all uses ==<br />
<br />
Permission is granted for use of Fedora Trademarks for the use cases described below. In all cases, whether your use is permitted solely under these conditions described below or you must seek additional permission from the Fedora Board, use of the Fedora Trademarks is only permitted provided that:<br />
* the use is only in connection with promoting the Fedora Project or Fedora products<br />
* the use is not disparaging to Red Hat, the Fedora Project or their products<br />
* the use is appropriate for the mark used, for example, &quot;Fedora Remix&quot; is used only for remix products and &quot;Fedora&quot; alone is not used for remix products<br />
* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]]<br />
* other than in plain text form, the Fedora Trademarks may only be used as described in the[[Logo/UsageGuidelines | official logo usage guidelines]]<br />
<br />
If your use case is not described below, you do not have permission to use Fedora Trademarks. If you would like to ask for permission, contact the Fedora Board.<br />
<br />
== Use of the Fedora Trademarks ==<br />
<br />
=== Distributing Fedora software ===<br />
<br />
==== Copies of unmodified Fedora Media ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label media made from exact copies of the CD and DVD images distributed by the Fedora Project and its mirrors. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission to label Fedora Media, provided proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Primary Marks and the trademark attribution statement appears as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt provides labels] in formats suitable for use in labeling Fedora Media, and recommends their use.<br />
<br />
==== New combinations of software from Fedora repositories, with or without other content separately on same physical medium ====<br />
<br />
You may use the Primary Marks on and in conjunction with media that contains software included in the official Fedora repositories, along with Other Content, provided that:<br />
* use of the Fedora Trademarks is approved by the Fedora Board. The Board will ask for a description of the software from the Fedora repositories to be included and to see the proposed designs of labeling, marketing and collateral material before approving the use;<br />
* the Other Content does not substantially modify the content, configuration, or operation of the Fedora software without additional user intervention;<br />
* the Other Content is labeled and distributed in a way that clearly indicates it is not part of the Fedora software provided on the media, and is not affiliated with, provided by, or supported by the Fedora Project;<br />
* it is clear who is responsible for the Other Content.<br />
You may also consider distributing the new combination under the [[#Distributing combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software | Secondary Mark]].<br />
<br />
==== Combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use any identifiable Fedora branding to label media that contains modified Fedora software, or combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora software. This is the category where use of the Secondary Mark is appropriate. Guidelines relating to such usage of the Secondary Mark are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
You may use the [[#Secondary_Mark | Secondary Mark]] on and in conjunction with media that commingles unmodified Fedora software with Other Content, or that provides modified Fedora software, provided that:<br />
* the ''fedora-logos'', ''fedora-release'', and ''fedora-release-notes'' RPM packages are removed, although you may replace these with packages of your own devising not containing Fedora Trademarks;<br />
* a notice is prominently displayed either on the physical media or, if the media is provided through electronic means, at the point of dissemination, indicating that:<br />
** the software provided is not provided or supported by the Fedora Project; and<br />
** official Fedora software is available through the Fedora Project website, and linking to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
<br />
==== OEM pre-loads of unmodified Fedora software ====<br />
<br />
In the past, some have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks to label or advertise computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks without additional permission in connection with the provision and sale of computer systems pre-loaded with Fedora software, provided that:<br />
<br />

* it is clear to the consumer of the computer system that there is no support available from the Fedora community other than that which is offered to all users;<br />
* any non-Fedora content is not pre-installed on the physical media on which the Fedora operating system is pre-loaded, but instead provided on separate physical media. If the non-Fedora content is pre-loaded, refer to [[#OEM_pre-loads_of_combinations_of_Fedora_software_with_non-Fedora_or_modified_Fedora_software | OEM pre-loads of combinations of Fedora software with non-Fedora or modified Fedora software]].<br />

<br />
These guidelines do not apply to the appearance of a web site, which is covered elsewhere in this document.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks in themes, personas, or skins for applications to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use of the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks does not conflict with the license or terms of use of the application being altered;<br />

If you wish to use any existing Fedora designs other than the Primary Marks and Four Foundations Marks for your work, please observe the licensing requirements for those materials. If you have questions about these requirements for any particular design, contact the [[Design|Fedora Design Team]].<br />
<br />
=== Use of the Fedora Trademarks other than for the distribution of software ===<br />

<br />
The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks on websites to show your support for the Fedora Project, provided that:<br />
* where possible, the Fedora Trademarks, including any design logo, hyperlinks to the Fedora Project website, http://fedoraproject.org/, or if that is not possible, the site includes a prominent link to the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/.<br />
* the site indicates clearly that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project; in addition, where possible:<br />
** the site must include the text &quot;This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project&quot; prominently on any page that includes Fedora Trademarks, and<br />
** if the Primary Marks or Four Foundations Marks appear in a page header or any area that is designed to be presented on more than one page, the notice must also be designed to be presented on all of those pages as well. (i.e., if the Fedora Trademarks appear in a site-wide header, the informational text must appear in that header or an identically site-wide footer.)<br />
* the site does not use visual styling that could be confusing to viewers or visitors as to whether the site is hosted by or on behalf of the Fedora Project<br />

<br />
==== Business cards ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks on business cards identifying the community member as a Fedora Ambassador. The guidelines relating to such usage are set forth in this section.<br />

Use of business contact information on the template is also frowned upon. <br />
<br />
==== Promotional events ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Primary Marks and the Four Foundations Marks to promote free and open source software events such as a Linux installfest or community free software trade show.

<br />
==== Publications ====<br />
<br />
It is permissible to use the Fedora word mark in the title and content of a publication, provided that:<br />
<br />
* the use is clearly in reference to the Fedora Project or its software<br />
* the use is not as the leading word of the title<br />
* The statement &quot;(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or otherwise approved by the the Fedora Project or Red Hat, Inc.” is prominently on the cover and title page of the publication<br />

* Proper trademark symbols are used in connection with the Fedora Trademarks and the trademark attribution statement must appear as explained in [[#Proper_Trademark_Use | Proper Trademark Use]].<br />
<br />
==== Domain names ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use the Fedora Trademarks, including the word &quot;Fedora,&quot; in an Internet domain name.<br />
<br />
The Fedora Project has established the [[Local community domains | ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain]] so that local community sites can form without cost or excessive effort to that community. Details about the process and benefits of a ''fedoracommunity.org'' domain are located on the [[Local community domains]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
For any other use of the Fedora Trademarks in a domain name, please read the [[Local community domains]] page and contact the [[Board]].<br />
<br />
==== Non-software goods ====<br />
<br />
In the past, community members have inquired whether it is permissible to use Fedora Trademarks on non-software goods such as T-shirts, stickers, and pens.<br />
<br />
Community members may request from the Fedora Board a license to use the Fedora trademarks on non-software related goods, services, or other entities. The Board, or someone it delegates for the task, will ask to see the proposed designs before approving the use.<br />
<br />
== Unapproved Use ==<br />
<br />
The following uses of the Fedora Trademarks are not approved under any foreseeable circumstances.<br />
* Violations of the Logo/Usage Guidelines or these Trademark Guidelines<br />
* Any use outside these guidelines not by explicit written permission<br />
<br />
Except as set forth herein, the trademark owner retains and reserves all rights to the Fedora Trademarks and their use, including the right to modify these guidelines.<br />
<br />
These guidelines may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the Board.<br />
<br />
== Proper Trademark Use ==<br />
<br />
One of the purposes of the Fedora® Project is to make a cutting-edge version of Linux® widely available in consistent format that the public can come to trust. To achieve this purpose it is important that the technology can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora® mark to identify this effort and is granting usage rights in the Fedora Trademarks as previously described in this document in order to assure widespread availability.<br />
